I love the introduction.

[@CelticStoic]

Many people aren't aware of this,even many irish people.
Mona Connolly was the 13 year old daughter of 1916 Easter Rising leader James Connolly, she died from burns after her apron caught fire aged 13, at the time James was in the US working with the trade Unions, and the incident happend around the time his wife was due to visit him in America with the children so she had little time to inform James about the incident, and he only found out at the dock when his wife arrived..
It's such a sad story. 😔

Such is the nature of E.U imperialism.

LET US SET HISTORY STRAIGHT!! THIS WAS A SEPERATE BATTLE FROME THE TROUBLES! THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMYS.

[@bigmouthprick5852]

"After Ireland is free, says the patriot who won’t touch socialism, we will protect all classes, and if you can’t pay your rent you will be evicted same as now. But the evicting party, under command of the sheriff, will wear green uniforms and the Harp without the Crown, and the warrant turning you out on the roadside will be stamped with the arms of the Irish Republic. Now, isn’t that worth fighting for?"

[@dettoladdict]

Bit more than 2 and all in all theyre tied enough that emphasising their separation is pretty disingenuous imo

[@dettoladdict]

Sure connolly even says it in the speech here, "does not have, never has, never will have a right in ireland" etc
